    Bottle Hunter board game from the 70s

    Thanks...I would venture to say it is extremely scarce. I bought it new from the folks who made it back in the late 70s. That's about how old it is...40 years or so. It was made by Camcar Family Enterprises, Inc. the trademark date is 1974 Maybe looking up that company will help. I think...

    Are these jugs old or just nice modern look-a-likes?

    Okey-doke. Thanks.

    Are these jugs old or just nice modern look-a-likes?

    I am thinking these may not be that old, but I would just appreciate someone else's input if possible. They are quite heavy, which is one good thing about them. They are in nice condition and look to be turned on a pottery wheel. The squared-off handles make me wonder about their age. The...

    Odd Jug I have not been able to find out much about

    Thanks for your interest and persistence. I, too, doubt it is American Indian pottery, but more likely Pa. Dutch. Pa. Dutch, which is really German, decent would make more sense as this area was settled by those folks. Classic rural Appalachian foothills. Scot-Irish, German, some English...

    Old bottle I found years back

    I found this years back in a city dump around Cumberland, Md. I have had it for years. I remember when I found this, it's apparent mate, A RED BOTTLE, just like it was broken next to it. That pattern in it that looks like "dents" is somehow in the glass. You can't feel them if you run your...

    Odd Jug I have not been able to find out much about

    Yes, southern Pa. is where the barn is...it's still there. I just measured it for the first time...interesting...it is 13 inches from tip to tip across the "football" and 13 inches tall from base to top of handle. Very close anyway. It weighs 4 pounds 8 ounces. No markings at all when it...

    Odd Jug I have not been able to find out much about

    Thanks much. It's fun trying to figure out, huh?. I hail from southwestern Pa. near the Mason-Dixon line. The area is typical Appalachia and was settled by Scots-Irish and German settlers, so it could be related to Amish.

    Odd Jug I have not been able to find out much about

    Wow...that's cool. It is the most similar thing I have seen thus far. How old is it?. By Indian do you mean American or India?. American Indian?. You mean they made stuff as ornate and detailed as this?. I did not know that. All I have ever seen from Indian artifacts are stone arrowheads...

    Odd Jug I have not been able to find out much about

    That's a good point. Yes...it is indeed fragile for carrying on a wagon as a warmer of some sort. I was also told it may have been a ceremonial wedding jug. The larger spout for the groom and the smaller for the bride. I don't know. I have never found anything definitive about it...just...

    Bottle Hunter board game from the 70s

    Yes...back in the 60s and 70s, bottle digging became the IN thing. There was plenty of virgin territory because the old sites had been undisturbed up to this point. I used to see photos in the Old Bottle Magazine of these a**holes getting into outhouse pits and pulling out Drakes Plantation...

    Bottle Hunter board game from the 70s

    Hi All: I have an odd rather esoteric board game. I have had it around, well, since the 70s when, as teens, a buddy and I were bottle-hunters. "Bottle Hunt" by CamCar Family Enterprises copyright 1974. I attached photos. I was thinking of putting it on eBay, but if it is not worth but a...

    Odd Jug I have not been able to find out much about

    Thanks much for the membership. It seems to me I may have posted this on this site a long time ago, but I have attached photos of a strange jug that has been in the family for decades. If anyone knows for sure what it is, how old, possible worth, etc. please feel free to comment. There are...
